Mel texted me asking if I was doing it, and she said she had plans to.... maybe you should talk to her :P

The dirt looks like a lot of fun (to drive), but it's the pulling apart and fixing the grubby things I don't rate :)

^^^^ Thats the only lack of appeal to me of the dirt. I really like the idea of sliding around on a budget, but the ongoing servicing, repairs and maintenance, even if you run a clean rally and dont touch anything could get on my nerves abit. That said, i havent done it so am only speculating.

tarmac, as long as you dont crash, quick wash, fresh fluids etc, and away you go..

Hmmmm.. group C RX 7 turbo..... Anyone who will pay sensible money (see what I have done there Woo :) ) want to buy a Targa Prepped TME? Is CAMS logbooked so will be good to go for next year.

Does this also mean that the other CAMS rallies will fall in line regs wise with the Octogon rules (Targa West, Rally Tas, Mt Stuart etc)??

Be good if there was just one set of rules thats for sure.

+1, good call

I would say its only a matter of time. The CAMS regs are one reason I cant be arsed respeccing my car and running at Targa West.... the shite roads and repeated stages is probably the other. :)

CAMS have already relaxed their rules on exhausts. I expect injectors and fuel pumps etc will come soon to embrace the E85 phenomena. Then its just the silly ones like adjustable strut tops etc to get rid of and you are just about there.

All this talk of new projects has tempted me to put the EMO on the market. I am asking crack pipe money for it on MY105,(39k) but if anyone is seriously intersted let me know. :)

To your question Ben, I would have thought CAMS cage and logbooked, but I cant be sure. That said, from what I remember, if you have a CAMS certified cage, the next step to logbook the car isnt much more than filling out a form and getting it inspected by a CAMS srutineer.

Should be a piece of piss Ben as your cage is a very similar YT spec to the IX just need a scrutineer? to sign off on it.

Best bet is to give Herbie a call at the CAMS state office and he will point you in the right direction.

Getting a rego inspection was harder than getting the cage log booked (too many anal RWC stations), in the end Transport just pushed it through with out one!

Apparently there are proposed changes to ROPS spec in the pipeline now that are due to be put in place January 2012. (Think there was a CAMS bulletin recently) You will need to get your car logbooked by then if the cage is built to current specs or if you miss the date possibly find yourself having to mod the cage to make it comply.

There are no major changes for new cages from memory, mainly that you need 2 cross bars in the main hoop or rear legs, and changes so that FIA cages will be cams compliant.

All Chromoly cages will ned to be inspected/tested by a CAMS offical before log booking

CAMS has a whole new section up on the site about the changes.

Finally seem to have the ability to reply - woohoo!  Had all sorts of trouble with my iPad and this forum, but found a cool app that seems to work... Sort of...

So I wanted to stop this nefarious rumour The Woo is trying to spread .... It seems that merely enquiring after another's interest in an event constitutes entry (if only this were true).  Boy I had a lot of explaining to do to my husband (pool heaters)

The closest i will get to being at Classic Adelaide (or any other event in the foreseeable future)  is if Kel takes up my offer to be her groupie .... And even that's not looking so good right now - I hear I need to slay her other groupies to be considered at all, as she has set up a master chef / DWTS elimination style process

(now counter-rumoured, my work here is done)

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
